Do you suggest I buy both a 30 AMP and a 50 AMP?
@@beakissinger I do as some campgrounds will only have one or the other. Most have both. You'll find 50AMP more often and that's the same Tesla adapter you'll use at a house with a 50AMP plug so if you could only get one... go with the 50AMP. It's faster and more widely used.
@@bryanhauer thanks for replying so quick! I already have the 50 AMP so that’s perfect!
I have bought 30 AMP to 50 AMP adapter but it doesn’t work for Tesla 14-50 AMP. I was told that Tesla 50 AMP adapter is 240V and the campground 30 AMP outlet is 110V. I am still looking for the Tesla 30 AMP adapter. Do you have any good suggestion of where to buy it?
@@ML-hb8eg The 30AMP Tesla adapter is different from the one you need for campgrounds. Are you looking to use it camping?
I enjoy following you on your camping trips. I use to camp a lot, but now I’m 81. So now I dream about it!
Thanks so much! Glad I can give you some enjoyment and entertainment. I hope to have another camping video later in the week coming out. Stay tuned 😀
I just finished my first Tesla road trip from Texas to the Grand Canyon. The cost of hotels added up real quick so I’m stepping up my Tesla camping game like you for future trips.
That is a good idea. I still do hotels at least once a week or so just to break things up when on the road, do laundry, upload videos etc, but it’s definitely saved me a ton. Thanks for tuning in!
I slept at a rest area on my last trip. Worked great
If you're at the top of a mountain, you may not want to charge up to 100%. Without regenerative braking, you will need to use your brake pads... and no one likes to clean brake dust off of their wheels!
Correct. This campground isn’t at the top and usually I gain around 5% when I do head down from the top so no need to for range or brakes on this one.
Love your channel. Keep them coming. Just a normal person with a Tesla.
Not some crazy teenager like the other Tesla channels. Thank you.
Thanks! I appreciate that 😀
Going to Las Vegas tomorrow to attend the CES Convention. I normally charge at Electrify America even in Vegas but I just found out the supercharging rate is a lot cheaper in Nevada so definitely will be charging at the Supercharger instead of EA.
I usually charge here at The Linq Highroller Supercharger. Make sure to tap the Supercharger on the screen for the gate code if you charge there 😉 If you're out and about the next few days let me know and I'll swing by to say hi.
@@bryanhauer You live in Vegas?
@@md929 Part-time.
Bryan ... I really enjoy your videos, and I would like to suggest a couple of easy improvements. When you pan your camera, try to move it slowly. And when you want to share a view, hold it for a moment longer. I think these two practices will make your videos even more enjoyable than they already are. Love ya ... keep up the good work.
Thanks for the tips, Charles! Still learning so appreciate that and will keep getting better. I’ve noticed I sometimes unnecessarily pan when there’s already motion in the frame so trying to break that bad habit as well 😀 Thanks for watching!
I’m driving to Texas from New Jersey, to visit my Son who just got back from a yearlong Deployment in the Middle East. I’m going to give the Tesla Camping a whirl in my 2021 Model 3. I just bought the Tezmat package and I ordered the 30 amp and 50amp plug adapters from your links! Loved your videos on Camping in the Tesla. 👍🏼
That's so cool to hear! I hope you have a great time visiting with your son and am glad my videos were helpful. Let me know how the camping goes and feel free to reply here if you run into any issues or have a question. Also, make sure to test the TESMAT when you get it to see if it'll be enough cushion. As you probably saw in my review video I suggested a specific workout mat to go underneath it. Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it.
Great video! Makes me want to get back into shape and take my Model Y camping and hiking. Thanks for the inspiration!
Glad you enjoyed the video and that sounds like a good plan 👍 Thanks for watching!
Hey new subscriber and I’m so happy I found your channel! Your content is a sigh of relax compared to thousands of tesla junk channels!
I hope you get more exposure and your channel grows! The great thing about your content is its timeless. You’ll be getting thousands of views years from now still. 👍
Thanks so much 🙏 I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos. Please let me know if you ever have a question.
Same. Feels like I am living with a Tesla.
Enjoyed the video, nice to see this stuff actually in action. That camp ground looked awesome, and judging by how the guy came right over and you said they don't let traffic thru and just the two people run it... sounds like a great well-kept spot. Electrical looked well taken care of too.
Minor notes... the regular home plug - see that T shape on one of them (like what you'd get in a modern kitchen or bathroom); that means it can do 20A instead of the normal 15A, and you need a different Tesla adapter to use the higher rate. Also, with the 240V/50A plug, the Tesla mobile charger only draws up to 32A (aka they treat it like a 240V/40A socket) b/c they cheaped out on the cable (it's too thin); if you buy a 3rd-party mobile adapter it can go up to 40A instead of 32A, and it's significantly faster.
I just came across your video and enjoyed watching the place that’s #1 my favorite in Vegas. And surprisingly I was on this video 8:42 hahaha😂 I usually go this place and Mc williams camp ground to avoid excessive heat in summer and to enjoy the desert snow in winter time. I hope the lodge will be open sooner or later as well. That’s a must go place when you drop by Mt. Charleston😅
Whoa! That's funny that you randomly came across this and just happen to be in it 😀 I usually stay up the hill at Hilltop, but wanted to try one with hookups this time. Wish it was a bit more off the road, but was still decent. Yes, so nice to be able to beat the Vegas heat every once in a while. I'll have to try McWilliams next time as I don't think I've stayed there yet.
Surprised you got a spot up there! Those campgrounds are usually filled when were up there lol Love that we can escape the heat in the mountains when its hot down in Vegas 👌 Cheers man!
Yep. It's so nice up there. Hate that The Lodge burned down, but sounded like they were rebuilding it.
@@bryanhauer did u ever eat there? My wife and I were talking about how we wanted to eat there sometime soon and about a week after that it burned down so we never got a chance lol
I did. I believe just once. For a burger on a Friday late afternoon and they had all the windows open, 73° and live music. It was great!
What's the name of that first camp ground?
Nice show and tell with campground charging. Thanks.
You bet! Thanks for watching!
Bryan, I can’t Waite until I get my model Y!!!
Hopefully you don't have to wait too long. Fingers crossed you get yours soon.
I got 12/13/2021. Fantastic, perfect condition. Drives great!!
@@danielorgeron4487 Woohoo! Congrats! Now the question is where’s your first trip? 😀
Ah! awesome! I getting my Tesla in January and plan on doing a lot of camping! Have been binge watching all your videos and note down nice campsite locations1 :) TY! and got the adapters too!
That’s great to hear! Glad my videos helped and congrats on the Tesla! January isn’t too far off. Just got back from Zion National Park where I camped.
Check out the new video when you get a chance. Thanks for watching 🙏
Your videos are getting better and better Bryan.
Looking forward to your next ones.
Thank you 🙏 Really appreciate that 😀
Saw you tried to click the button on the charger lol. It can be finicky. Great videos!
Haha. Yep. Replied to the original comment and mentioned that 😀 I always get excited when it actually works. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it.
Great video. Thanks Bryan
Thanks Mike! Appreciate it.
Always enjoy your videos Brian. Informative in a chill sorta way ✌🏼
Thank you, sir! I appreciate that! 😀
18:43 4 hours and 20 mins. LOL
Ha!
Thanks for this, it was very helpful! One word of warning though as you now recommend a 30V adapter different from the one you demonstrate. I also do not have experience with that newer adapter but my research indicates that it does work with at least some if not all Teslas. Fortunately the EVSEAdapters version which I suspect is the original one you used (please confirm…) appears to be available on their website.
The 30AMP RV adapter linked to sometimes goes out of stock & they replace it with a different one until it's back in stock (I have no idea why they do this). I'll put a note next to it in the description. The one they link to works with a 50AMP 14-50 adapter from Tesla, but this would only be useful if the campground only has the 30AMP & not the 50AMP. Thanks.
Great videos Bryan. I enjoy all the knowledge you give about the Model Y. I am receiving mine next month. All the best from Denmark. /Søren
Thanks so much! Congrats on your Model Y! Always cool to see people from all over the world enjoying the videos 😀
Very informative. These are greatly helping me decide whether or not to invest in a Tesla 😊
Nice 👍🏻 Glad you're finding value in them. Let me know if you have any questions 😀
Campsite electrical boxes can emit irregular power surges (at least that's what my RV friends have said). Is there a surge protector already built in to the Tesla mobile charger or the 50 AMP adapter?
You could buy an RV surge protector/conditioner for $50 - $100 (30amp & 50amp), but from my understanding the mobile cord from Tesla already contains a surge protector. I haven't had any issues and have used it at campgrounds around the country, but might be worth it for peace of mind. The Tesla also seems to auto adjust the amps when I plug in.
i like your vids.. thanks
Glad you like them!
It’s still crazy to me that even today, basic autopilot will happily drive through a red light! You’d think they’d incorporate some of the FSD safety stuff into basic autopilot, but nope 😑
I see you have the same roof rack as I do. I have a recumbent trike, any suggestions for roof mounting? (2019 M3)
I actually no longer use the roof rack as I was losing too much range and was a bit too noisy for me, so now use a rear hitch box from Yakima. Never tried mounting anything besides a box up there so unfortunately don’t have any suggestions.
good job thank brother
👍🏻
Bryan, great videos. I have 2 questions: 1)Does autopilot read and react to speed limit signs? 2) I have lots of experience RVing but I've always wondered how RV parks react to Tesla campers. Have you had any issues with RV parks not wanting you to plug in?
Hi John - AutoPilot does read & react to speed limit signs. Like a human if there’s something in the way like a semi, it will miss it which is a bit annoying sometimes as I wish it relied on vision from the cameras + map data showing the speed limit & other info, but Tesla is going all in on camera vision. In the long run it’s probably the correct choice.
As for RV parks… I’ll admit I really haven’t been to any and have stayed with traditional campgrounds, but I have called a few when searching on Campendium and did ask if Tesla’s were ok and all said yes. The only time I’ve heard of issues is in Florida where they strictly forbid car camping although that was put into place before Tesla took off so it’s a bit outdated. Outside of FL, I haven’t heard of any issues, but probably best to always give the place a call before booking.
Let me know if you have any other questions & thanks for watching 😀
can you charge your tesla while your vehicle is in camp mode? enjoying the videos and thank you again for sharing your knowledge. im very excited to receive my tesla
Yep. Sure can. Most of the video I had it plugged in, but in Camp Mode. Like when I went hiking it was charging with Camp Mode on. I only unplugged it overnight as I was already fully charged and then plugged it back in when I woke up to top off what I lost overnight. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any other questions.
hey Bryan, I finally got my VIN and my delivery date is August 11th. I was wondering if you can link me exactly where you purchased your 30 AMP adapter. The link you provided in the description isn't the one you're showing in your video. Thanks for the info! I'm excited to starting camping and going on adventures with my dog in the tesla :]
That one occasionally disappears from Amazon only to come back a couple weeks later. I can't find it anywhere else on the site. I've seen this before though and then it will reappear. I'd just keep checking that link. The one it currently links to would work if you did get the official Tesla Nema 14-50 adapter already. It would convert it from 30 amp to 50 amp. Plus it's only $20.
Looks like you need to subtract an absolute 10% from what the charger says you will have left when you get there.
I actually do about 20% to be extra safe for any stretches over 2 hours, but that’s only because I have the cargo box. Without it, I’d be getting pretty close to estimated range. Usually just adds an extra stop or two on travel days so not too bad.
Can I use Tesla 10-30 adapter in the camp ground?
Your video showed the camp's 30 amp outlet has a round ground port,
Tesla adapter's ground prong is L shape, do I have to get another 10-30 adapter?
Thanks.
Hi Roy - You can't unfortunately. Campgrounds use a different 30 AMP connection so you need to get one made for that which is rounded for RV use. Most campgrounds have a 50 AMP outlet as well so I'd always suggest using that one with the official Tesla 14-50 adapter as your first choice as it's faster. The 30 AMP is only a backup option as occasionally campgrounds will only offer that. As you'll see in the description of this video the one I have which I showed off in this video isn't always available on Amazon and redirects to another option which is the 30 AMP RV to Tesla 14-50.
Thanks, I already have the 14-50 adapter, just want to make sure I get the right 30 amp backup adapter.
@@roychen2404 You can just buy this RV 30 AMP to 14-50 and you should be good to go 👍🏻 geni.us/FEaw
Yes, that is the one I was looking at Amazon. Thanks.
